For Young Americans
GEORGE WASHINGTON
By Woodrow Wilson, Ph.D., LL.D. Copiously Illustrated by Howard Pyle, Harry Fenn, and Others. Crown 8vo, Cloth, Deckel Edges and Gilt Top, $3.00.
Professor Wilson has made at the same time a new biography of Washington and a new history of America in Washington's time. In the perspective of American history, a perspective clearer, perhaps, to this writer than to any other, the period treated is especially significant, being the culmination of the colonial era, and including the final overthrow of French dominion on American soil, the Revolutionary War, and the establishment of the Republic on the firm basis of constitutional law. Upon this historic background Professor Wilson has painted his living portrait of Washington, and with masterly skill and homely simplicity has shown the relation of the man to the stirring events of his time, and has made the whole epoch luminous with the spirit of its foremost man. To many readers the most charming feature of this work will be the picture presented of Washington in the quiet days of Mount Vernon before and after the Revolution.
